Does this mean that installing a pkgIndex.tcl into /usr/lib/$package is broken now, and that I should install the module to /usr/lib/tcltk? If so, is a pkgIndex.tcl still required? -- Felipe Sateler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Moreover, /usr/lib in auto_path will be retained until maintainers of all Tcl-based applications and extensions will repackage them. pkgIndex.tcl is still required, but it will be moved into a subdirectory of /usr/lib/tcltk or /usr/share/tcltk (not right now).
